Today...... after a horrific weekend filled with pain, like I've never known and honestly, wasn't sure I'd make it through the night on Friday. While that may sound dramatic..... it's truth. I had so much *pain*. It was RELENTLESS. After Friday night, I drove an hour+ to the Twin Cities (my dentist was in Chicago) to an emergency dentist who promptly told me that I had an infected tooth and that it would be a cool $3k for them to fix it.
I don't have $3k. I cried. Alot. I'm on social security and am disabled. I'm not able to work.....I don't have the luxury of picking up a few extra hours to make some extra cash.... my body won't let me. Imagine the freak out.

So, this morning, I went to my own dentist, who agreed that YES I need a root canal. However, he felt pretty certain, that a crown
may not be needed immediately. More importantly, the cost for the root canal and filling, will be right at $1k - which is MUCH more manageable than $3k, but still frightening because I don't have that kind of money. I've spent the last several months being VERY disciplined and exercising HUGE self control to save around $600 - which is OUTSTANDING - but the thought of losing all that cash to a tooth and having NOTHING again is absolutely sickening. (I know, I'm very THANKFUL that I have this savings.... I just HATE spending it!)
I'm asking for help. I have to.
I have started a gofundme page, which you can find here:
http://www.gofundme.com/pnvu2c It also explains more of my story and why this probably happened..... and I will be doing a destash again in my Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/LindasDestash/. Please share with your friends - I want to raise as much as I possibly can so that I can keep SOME sort of savings.
If you'd rather purchase jewelry - you can find it here:

THANK YOU for your friendship and if you would like to help, I'd be forever grateful (as would my mouth)!
